How Detroit Lions' Jeff Okudah is using philosophy to be a better cornerback

Jeff Okudah ran stride-for-stride down the right sideline with Tyrell Williams in the second-to-last period of practice Thursday, then let out a scream as he knocked a Jared Goff pass harmlessly to the ground.

Three plays later, Okudah chased Kalif Raymond across the field following a long gain on a screen and was greeted by an animated Detroit Lions assistant appreciative of his hustle.

Okudah matched the speeds of two of the Lions’ fastest players on Day 2 of training camp, showing a burst he did not have as a rookie, when his season was cut short by a groin injury.
